Music!

[Mal103]

The thing I miss the most about being in a car (apart from warm and dry) is the choice of music, I've tried ipods and earphones but they are tricky with the crash hat and I feel may block noises that you really need to hear, like sirens, rattling exhaust etc.

I've invested in a waterproof bike stereo and fitted it this weekend, the speakers fitted snugly within the cockpit of the Sprint and the stereo slotted in next to the rev counter, wiring was tricky as you need one feed from something that turns on with the ignition. Had it on radio to start with, can't hear a thing above 55mph but it's great around town, now found a way to link my phone so treated the city of Bath to some Iron Maiden this morning

Found it on Amazon for less than 20 - what do you think on musical bikes - should they be kept to Goldwings and Harley's? Had a few weird looks but no different to music in cars with the windows open.

Personally I think they're awful - similar to playing music on your phone through the loudspeaker while you walk down the road. In a car the music is contained to the people inside the car, on a bike like this it's subjecting everyone else to it!

It's a no from me on this one.

I use a Bluetooth headset, 2 little speakers and a mic in my lid. Available on eBay for not much over a tenner and you can answer the phone with it too.

Well I used to use, it got smashed in my last crash.

It depends on the music you will be pumping out off it, heavy rock, opera, drum n bass or pet shop boys, headphones for me not everyone likes all music

music on a bike!! why?? the sound of the engine is enough for me,weather parallel twin,v-twin or inline 4..

If you enjoy it that is all that matters. I guess it will never be as loud as an open set of pipes plus you don't stay in one place for any length of time so I can't see you being a nusiance to anyone.

Plus I enjoy some iron maiden now and then
